New Jersey Legal Malpractice Law Firm

Attorney Malpractice

Your choice of New Jersey malpractice lawyer can greatly affect your case. Most attorneys are worthy of the public's trust, and are ethically bound to protect that interest. However, there are those who will take advantage of clients and their lack of experience with the legal system, or who lack the experience and resources needed to properly protect a client's interest. The results can be disastrous, including the payment of thousands of dollars in useless legal fees and case costs, and worse, the often-irreversible loss of your case.

If you're a victim of this type of professional negligence, you can hold the lawyer responsible for your losses by bringing a case for legal malpractice.

Examples of legal malpractice include:

Missing filing deadlines, or allowing a statute of limitations to pass without filing a case

Not understanding the law or other issues surrounding a case

Stealing money held in escrow for a client

Ethics violations, such as not disclosing a conflict of interest

Failing to follow a client's instructions or not getting consent before acting

Failure to meet obligations outlined in the attorney's own contract

Inaccurate representation that one is qualified to pursue a civil action through trial

In order to prove a legal malpractice claim, you must be able to show that the lawyer's negligence, mistakes or crimes changed the likely outcome of your case. Frequently, that means rehashing the entire original case in court. For that reason, legal malpractice lawsuits are very complicated cases requiring commitment, resources and special experience.
